Make it happen

1. 01

   Heat the oven to 190°C fan. Boil the pasta in salted water for 2 minutes less than the packet time; drain, reserving a mug of water.

2. 02

   Fry the cooking chorizo until browned, then soften the onion and peppers in the same pan before adding tomatoes.

3. 03

   Combine the drained pasta with the cooked filling and sauce. Add a splash of reserved pasta water if needed to coat everything evenly.

4. 04

   Spoon into a baking dish, scatter over the cheese and bake for 15–20 minutes until golden and bubbling. Ensure any meat is thoroughly cooked before serving.
